Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ladyfingers (about 200 grams)
- 3 Earl Grey tea bags
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) hot water
- 16 ounces (450 grams) mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Brew the Earl Grey tea by steeping the tea bags in 1 ½ cups hot water for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using an electric mixer.
- In a separate bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated and light.
- Pour the cooled tea into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the tea, making sure not to oversoak.
- Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in a 9×9 inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
- Before serving, dust the top evenly with unsweetened cocoa powder.
Notes
- Do not oversoak the ladyfingers, a quick dip is enough to prevent sogginess.
- For best flavor, allow the dessert to chill overnight.
- Use a fine sieve to dust cocoa powder evenly over the top.
- The dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
